The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Deaths: Hitler's Body Guard-- Part 1: Rochus Misch


ROCHUS MISCH, 96

Adolf Hitler's bodyguard and last remaining witness to his last hours in that Berlin bunker. As an SS Staff Sergeant, he accompanied Hitler nearly everywhere, calling him "Boss."

After Hitler's suicide, Misch remained at the bunker he called "The Coffin of Death" for days before escaping the Soviets. Misch has no regrets or apologies for performing his job. "He was no brute. He was no monster. He was no superman."
